Chris Hedges on America: The Farewell Tour. Kepler's Books, Menlo Park, CA

Chris Hedges discusses his most recent book 'America: The Farewell Tour' with interviewer Angie Coiro. The event was held at Kepler's Books in Menlo Park, CA on Saturday, September 8, 2018 from 4-5 PM.
Chris Hedges hasn't given up on America. That may not be the immediate impression from his reporting, nor from his books, where he describes "the opioid crisis, the retreat into gambling to cope with economic distress, the pornification of culture, the rise of magical thinking, the celebration of sadism, hate, and plagues of suicides." But grasping the unvarnished reality is essential to fixing everything that's gone wrong both nationally and worldwide. Hedges' work, from his contribution to the New York Time's 2002 Pulitzer Prize to his most recent book America: The Farewell Tour urges us not to compromise as we assess today's political and societal realities. And he says that neither mainstream political party addresses our systemic problems - nor can they, until our country's "corporate coup d’état" is reversed.
